@Geez 1.15 is coming. Any news on the fix for this bug?

Immediately after launching with my new monitor I noticed and after googling find this thread hahaha doesn’t look very promising

Tnargav added a comment.EditedNov 28 2021, 9:27 PM

Yea, but hey we have a very important feature of hit indicator ... that everybody was demanding so much ...

So @Geez has just stopped replying to questions about when this might be fixed, despite merging new reports about the issue, new people subscribing to this thread and the dev team working on the UI for the current patch. That was the perfect opportunity to solve this.

What exactly is the issue? Does no one on the team have the knowledge to resolve this? Did the people who do have the knowledge get moved to Arma 4? This gets more bizarre every patch that passes and this is not addressed, especially considering the latest patch has new UI features.

Explain this to us, please.

They are preparing you a new pistol and a Christmas tree in the cities on the map. And you will not appreciate it!

@Melies Looking forward to it. Will be praying for the fix under one in-game.

The ingame holiday events were added previously, starting with Halloween of 2021 I think. This year they are adding in Santa Sleigh crashes, which will be nice and I'm sure I'll enjoy it, but that doesn't fix this issue which has been outstanding for over two years which is what this bug report thread is about.

This makes it incredible difficult for a beginner. When issues like these arise, I usually drop to 16:9 ratio. Unfortunately the game doesn't seem capable of that either!

Please address this issue

Yeah I get it being low priority since I’m assuming a very small percentage of players use the affected ratios but still feel like it’s a simple fix and just so much time has passed since this issue was originally brought up

I think I must have been a bad boy last year as I didn't get this fix for Christmas ... well maybe this year? I promise I won't be killing freshies and help them as much as I can.

They fixed an exploit I reported before I made this just recently, so maybe it's about to get dropped on someone's desk to get fixed. So called "Low priority" fixes that are scheduled for fixes are probably sitting on someone's desk just gradually getting worked through.

registered so i can +1 this issue. it's super annoying. thanks devs!

Just got this game and thought something was fishy. Over a year past since first report and still no progress on this? What a shame

@Cygriq Some mentioned that it's been longer than that. But who knows, maybe this year it will get fixed?

From the newest update:

Still experiencing this on 3440x1440, hopefully this gets fixed.

Come on, almost two years and still no fix to such a simple issue? This heavily impairs the experience as I (and many other players) cannot read descriptions of items and either have to give up on reading it or do some tricks so that the description renders far enough to fit in. Just fix it!

Not sure if I should laugh or cry.

This feeling of hopelessness when after starting the game in late 2022 you realize this issue has been reported circa 2 years ago and still no fix...
And it seems to me to be such a low hanging fruit, i.e easy fix that will please all ultrawide users which are undoubtedly growing in numbers.

Now that you have been made aware of the... circumstance...
Welcome to the brotherhood, old friend...

Welcome, welcome.

TICKETS FOR THE TICKET GOD

You'll find that Bohemia don't actually have a 21:9/32:9 monitor in the office, which is why this remains unfixed (allegedly)

With that logic they don't own cars either.

I spent 25 minutes trying to troubleshoot this only to find it's a known issue without a fix. Playing DayZ on my ultrawide shouldn't be so complicated as to have to open multiple tooltip screens to see an item description in my inventory.

literally made an account JUST to keep this alive. Been playing with this issue since standalone was in ALPHA. this thread is almost TWO YEARS OLD. i get you're busy fixing a piece of floating paper in a house somewhere but DAMN.

Exactly one year ago reported from me, 5 updates later and still no fix in sight... That's either ignoring wide monitor players on purpose, or a complete misunderstanding of the issue... sad sad....
Hell, dont let such people fix issues in the real world....

Fine. Bought myself a new monitor and ran into a problem that's two years old...
THIS IS A SPIT IN THE FACE OF THE PLAYERS WHO PAID FOR YOUR PRODUCT.
Why do I have to suffer and suffer with this bug?
When you fix it????

> PC Experimental 1.19 Update 4 - Version 1.19.155386 (Released on 13.10.2022)

Inventory descriptions were not showing properly in 21:9 aspect ratio (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T155551)

Woop woop

EDIT: Just tested, 3840x1080 appears to be fixed on experiemental

Confirmed on 21:9 finally they did it YEEEHAAA ... thanks.

Fixed on experimental :)

Geez claimed this task.

Are you claiming to be the one directly responsible for making literally dozens of us rejoice on this day?

Sure, we could talk about it not needing to have taken 678 days to be fixed - but that's not what the members of T155551 are about.

We thank you for your service, @Geez .

FREEEEEDOOOOOOOM!!!!

Christmas came early this year.

Thanks to anyone involved including devs of course.

I cried reading this

@Geez unfortunately the issue still persists on 5120x1440 (32:9) ultrawide resolutions. Can we please get a fix for those of us running on the larger ultrawide monitors? 21:9 and 32:9 are the most popular ultrawide aspect ratios, and while I understand that 21:9 are more common, 32:9 is a growing market in the ultrawide category and DayZ works beautifully for us outside of this glaring issue. Would love a fix on our end as well. I was planning on opening a ticket but saw that other 32:9 tickets were linked to this one and incorrectly or mistakenly marked as resolved, which is not the case. Thanks in advance - happy to share more information as needed.

@SaberClash See you in two years.

@SaberClash , are you sure it's still an issue? I tested on 3840x1080 (32:9), and it at least appeared on the screen for me every time. It DID move around a bit each time it opened (sometimes left of the cursor, sometimes right align with it, sometimes to the right, but it always appeared on screen fully.

Hi i confirm it's still an issue for me with 3440*1440.

It's back!

T155551 turned into what this game is all about.
An undead Bugreport to haunt the living....

Meta at its finest

And yes, I can confirm it, on the (modded) server i played today, i had the issue again.

@Geez just to make sure you're aware

Experiencing this on 3440x1440 and some things seem stretched. I am not sure if there is just a fisheye effect going on from the ultrawide, or if I should try some other resolutions and see if things scale properly. But either way the tool tips are appearing off screen.

Issue persists while using 3440x1440. Tooltips appear off screen.

frontman added a comment.EditedApr 26 2023, 4:11 AM

Getting fisheye as well. The edge of the screen everything is always stretched on 3440x1440

Is this issue ever going to be addressed?

ah shit. we missed the 4th year birthday of this ticket.

Fresh install with the new DLC seems to have resolved the issue for the moment.
